The hammer drill has a rotation stop mode for light chiselling in plaster, tiles and render and an impact stop mode for rotary only drilling in wood and metal. It uses 4.0Ah 18 Volt Lithium Ion batteries to deliver high performance, long life and maximum runtime.

The DCH253 features best in class vibration (6.6m/s²) to reduce user fatigue and maximise operating periods. A bright white LED with delay feature improves visibility.
